angToCoord()

def lsst.skymap.healpixSkyMap.angToCoord

(

thetaphi

)

Convert healpy's ang to an lsst.geom.SpherePoint

The ang is provided as a single object, thetaphi, so the output
of healpy functions can be directed to this function without
additional translation.

coordToAng()

def lsst.skymap.healpixSkyMap.coordToAng

(

coord

)

Convert an lsst.geom.SpherePoint to a healpy ang (theta, phi)

The Healpix convention is that 0 <= theta <= pi, 0 <= phi < 2pi.
